Will the up() method of the semaphore execute a waiting process in the semaphore queue each time it is executed (assuming that there are waiting processes in the queue) or only when the new value of the semaphore is greater than or equal to 0 ?
think about how semaphores are designed ... every up() should wake up a process if you look at the implementation you see: up() calls __up_wakeup() __up_wakeup() calls __up() __up() calls wake_up() -mike -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
